Irlande : When to go ?

In the extreme west of Europe, the Emerald Island is an island with beautiful wilderness between green meadows, enchanting forests and sublime lakes. But beyond the magic landscape, it is the legendary warmth of the Irish people that is one of the country's major assets. It is often said that you arrive as a visitor in Ireland and leave a friend, and it is not by chance... Among the streams of Guinness and ancestral Celtic songs, the islanders do everything they can to discover and appreciate this grandiose earth that they cherish so much. Nothing such as a local agency to make you discover this authentic Ireland during a tailor-made trip that corresponds to your time of stay and your expectations.The ideal time to visit Ireland is from May to September, but it is also high season that increases prices. The rest of the year is divided into weeks and weekends. Weekends in Ireland ask for a small organisation because the accommodation is often stormed and it is better to reserve.

For lightning, distributors are found in the ads (request currency: " change for the cigarette machine, please "at the counter), but the cigarettes are a little more expensive. The Centra and Spar (the coin of the corner) sell all of them, but they do not have the right to expose them, as a result of smoking incentives. You must ask the friendly seller what he has in stock. Cigarettes are a little cheaper in Northern Ireland.The B & B breakfast is very well-built.Small budgets will have the opportunity to take advantage of the Early Bird formula: generally from 17 am to 19 pm, you can enjoy advantageous formulas or discounts on the dinner menu.

Balances, return promotions, series purposes, special offers, etc. On this subject at least, Ireland beats France with a sewing platform: lovers of shopping will no longer know where to give your head!Alcohol is cheaper than in France? Not at all! This is an idea received. In actual pubs, beer is paid cheaper than at the Hexagon counters. But beware of strong alcohols, cocktails, shooters (in general 5 €) and beer bottle... even in store! Your Jameson bottle will cost you much more in Ireland (where the high alcohol tax is very high) than in a French supermarket, even Parisian.
